Philippe Nicol.
On the date of our visit (April 12, 1972) we also met Mr. Philippe Nicol's son: William. He told me that he was born on August 3, 1872. At the time of the meeting he was at his sugar bush splitting hard wood with an axe. He mentioned that his father worked for Sam Dalpé and also for Stephen Willard who was a competitor to Dalpé. Although he was not a major manufacturer, Philippe Nicol nevertheless has made many tools that we can still find today. It is said that he was also associated to Sam Dalpé, his brother in-law, in the Roxton Pond Tool Company.
